Yeah I fixed the title for you, even though I'm pretty sure you made it like that on purpose, so that this thread would not be completely derailed by it.
Hard to find the motivation to cut alot of weight when you're being paid in peanuts.
And lets not forget Khabib who walks around basically the same size as GSP before cutting to LW.
We don't know if he could have made the weight. The commission stopped him before he weighed in.Holloway couldnt make LW on short notice. He's been talking about moving up because the cuts are getting difficult.
Thats true but he must have been in rough shape for the doctor to do that.We don't know if he could have made the weight. The commission stopped him before he weighed in.
I imagine he was, but the NYSAC isn't exactly known for making sound decisions.Thats true but he must have been in rough shape for the doctor to do that.
It's pretty crazy really, even dos Anjos admits that in between camps that he usually walks around 195-210, and this is the same dude who fought most of his career at FW.
People give GSP crap for wanting to take some fights at LW but after hearing some weight cutting stories it makes it seem like GSP has been fighting up a weight class compared to most people.
They pulled that girl for having herpes or something too LOLI imagine he was, but the NYSAC isn't exactly known for making sound decisions.
Whittaker weighs between 215-220 on a normal day.I was looking at the UFC champs the other night and I noticed something.. the newer champions DO NOT cut a lot of weight. Whittaker, Colby (whether or not you call him a champ), Stipe isn't necessarily the biggest HW and his mobility and speed for a HW is why he's so damn good, Max Holloway cuts like 15-20 lbs which isn't a lot, DJ doesn't cut that much either and neither does TJ. Those who cut maybe 10-20 lbs seem to have a huge cardio and speed advantage over their opponents. I also think this is the new trend with the wrestlers. Like Gregor Gillespie and Colby who aren't power wrestlers who cut 30-40 lbs like Johny but are tenacious chain wrestlers who will just keep shooting because they don't get tired. The power wrestling days I think are over because it only takes stuffing a few of their takedowns and they seem gassed. Is this the new meta?
I thought it was breast implants(Pearl Gonzales).They pulled that girl for having herpes or something too LOL
there was another fighter that got pulled, or maybe Im thinking of a different AC.I thought it was breast implants(Pearl Gonzales).
So gullibleBro....Holloway was on death's door trying to make 155 on a week's notice. He's said that he walks around at over 180lbs, which is HUGE for a Featherweight. I'd be shocked if Max was anything less than 170lbs on fight night.
Whittaker walks around at 216lbs and is 205 after he rehydrates, so he's not a small MW by any stretch of the imagination. Woodley is also huge for the weight class and so is Cormier.
